When a person gets sexual thoughts or doubts, they can STOP THINKING it only by ACKNOWLEDGING that they were thinking about it. Trying to DIVERT WON'T HELP as the SUBCONSCIOUS WILL CONTINUE TO THINK. If we try to run away, it will keep popping up. Fact.

But when we acknowledge the fact that we are thinking about sex, we can stop the thought process by:

* identifying the TRIGGER which caused such thoughts and making a mental note of the source of temptation so as to avoid them in future

* reminding that it is NOT FRUITFUL to think about sex ... it is not good for the health to be obsess over anything

* RECALL the ILL-EFFECTS of impure thought life which brings stress & guilt

* ACCEPT the FACT that we have nothing to do with sex (shouldn't even think) except with our spouse.

* COMMAND the brain that we DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT SEX for such reasons.

IT WILL HELP!

Thought life is important. We must continuously appraise our thoughts & actions in the Light of God's word. Satan attacks the mind first.

Sex can build you up or it can ruin your life. I don't think everyone is meant to be married.

yes i think sex is a need.
adam walked with God in the garden and yet, was still lacking something in his life. that is mind boggling to me.
he saw the animals with a mate and i think he needed one too
but that doesn't mean that we can just go sleep around like it is a need that controls our lives. i sort of think of it like eating. we need to eat in order to live, but when the urge to eat comes up we don't immediately have to fill that need. we can wait. altho...i've never known anyone to die because they abstained from sex. :p

Hello Everyone,
Do you agree that sex is a need? According to Maslow’s hierarchical pyramid, sex is a physiological need just as food is a need. If sex is in fact a need, then this explains why it is important for couples to get married and start a family.
However, what about single Christians who are not married, how do you suggest they control this need so that they would not sin against God?

Maslow’s hierarchical pyramid is pagan.
Pagan is destructive to christianity.
The goal of the enemy is to destroy mankind
The only history of God coming down to destroy a country or town is sodom and gomorrha and all the cities in that veil due to apostasy
So satan the enemy has been trying through programing slowly turn the world into sodomites and now if you dont agree with them they think YO are evil.

soon God will do the Daniel two event and rain meteorites down on the cities again he said so.
and pwoplw will go
"O he is so MEAN and terible!"
because thye have been warped/
why do you call it television PROGRAMMING?
isnt it obvious that hollywood is pushing everyone to be perverted?
Actors who refuse to cross dress are fired, go look it up. those who are not perverts are not allowed into the inner sanctums and the worlds largest religion has sodomy in all its clergy as normal.

when they start to persecute christians for being straight than the meteors come, it will happen any time.

No way ! It's the vatican who teaches that to support their forced priest celibacy doctrine,
and I totally disagree !
Adam and Eve get one in flesh in the Garden of Eden, before they disobeyed God,
and before they were cast out of the Garden of Eden.
So no, " sex " in the right context is not sin, and will never be !
The new earth will be the restoration of the Garden of Eden,
and eternal couples man-woman will get one in flesh as much as they would want ! Forever !

I don't think it's a need, actually after having my son I rarely if ever desire sex...and before that i hardly ever had the desire. Some people are different , but for me I think I could go years and years without it. Possibly my whole life. What I prefer is companionship.

I don't think it's a need as much as it is a temptation when you're not married. I know several married couples who say they didn't feel like they needed sex about a yr after they got married. so it's not a need.

So you would die without it?
Without sex you don't die, starve, go thirsty. It won't prevent you from finding a job, or getting to places you need to go. It doesn't cause you to be homeless. So.. whats the need? You can live without sex. A lot of people do.

I've never heard of anyone dying from a lack of sex. A person doesn't eat for a certain amount of time, they die. A person doesn't have sex for a certain amount of time....yeah, they're still alive and kickin'.

I think sex is more about desires than needs. A desire can run deep, certainly, and the desire for sex and intimacy definitely is deeply rooted for many people, but no, I don't think sex is on the same need-for-survival level as food.

I would have jusk clicked "like" but that would not be sufficient! Paul said it is better to marry than burn, and Jesus said that there are those who have made themselves Eunuchs for the kingdom of Heaven sake, so it is my belief that those that inherit the likeness of Jesus will overcome the human desire. However, part of the promise is no barren womb, so it is necessary to keep seed alive, but it is only necessary to be happy if the need is too great. So, "to yeild or not to yield, THAT is the question".

I think it is important to understand sex, it is part of us. Like anything else, to arrive at the truth of sex is to think of it through the mind of God who created it.

Anytime we try to fit it, first, into our fleshly understanding so it fits into our word "need" is to distort it. To find the truth of sex it is us who must fit our understanding into God's words.

Some worthwhile questions to ask of God is why we have it? Is it a good thing? How can we use it for His Kingdom? There are lots of good questions. I don't think answering our idea of need is going to give us understanding of this vital part of us.

It's a need, bro! I can live with an arm, a leg, BUT I CANNOT LIVE without my head. I can fast, I can be jobless... but I do appreciate all those additional gifts.

Yes, I agree sex is a need. However, I believe there is an age of maturity, opportunity, and understanding upon which you make this decision, and God blesses you for it.

Single Christians should be married. However, for example in my life, I am waiting longer than anticipate for a husband. I think it is good then, to pray and understand if sex is a need, you must analyze your own beliefs and God, to make a decision.

God understands, and he looks at motivation a lot, if you believe he knows all.

It is a desire. A healthy natural desire that should only be fulfilled in the Biblical context and parameters of Marriage.


And for the single Christians who are out there. Well I suggest they stay busy and productive by reading God's word, The Holy Bible every day, praying, and doing the Lord's work (witnessing, door to door visitation, passing out Gospel Tracts). The time is very, very short. So do what you can for the Lord, that way while you are waiting on the Lord, you'll be faithful in His work.

It's not a need. I certainly haven't needed it thus far (I'm 20 years old) and Paul of the Bible certainly didn't need it either! I haven't died yet.

One other thing though Trudes, I think the more a Single Christian dwells on the fact that they are still single, the more chances they have of getting bitter, coveting, and to fall into the sin of lust. That's why it is important to stay busy about the Lord's work.

The worse thing any Christian could do is to let their mind get idle. And then fall into a lukewarm, backslidden condition.

It's like that saying goes: "an idle mind is the devil's workshop."

So while it is perfectly natural and good to desire an intimate relationship within the context of Marriage, also just be aware that the time is very, very short. Jesus is coming back very quickly and His return is very imminent and soon. So just be sure to be about getting the work He has for you to do accomplished. And be about His business. The more you keep yourself occupied with the things of the Lord, the more you will be productive with your time by serving the Lord. And you also won't be dwelling too much on the fact that your still single. Hope this helped. Blessings.
